No technical foul, sure, but we all knew the guy was out when he hit floor. Henderson knew it, and even admitted as much in his post-fight interview. The ref obviously knew it because he was lunging in to stop him before the second hit landed, he just didn't get there in time. It was totally unnecessary and unnecessarily dangerous. If by freak accident the guy had died from the knockout hit, that would've been a simple tragedy that's expected to happen in a sport like this on rare occasions. If he had died from the second, I would hope Henderson would get at least a civil suit for it. It was ridiculous.
